Man And Boy 05:15
Hey you Yeah you Do you see What I see Too little, too late, you had it all And now you've gone and missed your call Hey you Talking to you Do you feel What I feel Too little, too late, the hurt is real I got the raw end of the deal You should have been beside me all my days man, man and boy But you left me to face the world alone man, man and boy Got my head Held high How can I Forgive you Too little, too late, you had your time Now you'll never know all that is mine Too little, too late, your time has come Now you're no longer my number one

Bullets 02:32
I thought we'd talked it over I thought it was understood I thought we'd stick together, all times, good and bad I thought we believed in honesty I thought we knew the score I thought it was never a game Then you stabbed me in the back And now I'm taking... No more bullets for you No more bullets for you No more bullets for you No more, bullets, for you, for you I thought you were on the level I thought I could rely on you I thought we were all together, as one, side by side I thought we'd last forever I thought it would never end I thought it was all unwritten Then you stabbed me in the back I see a distant look in your eyes now I see a different look on your face This side of you I don't recognize now You got me hurting and confused
3.
There was always something about you That I knew I couldn't resist Everything is so predictable And I knew it would come to this And that's why it's over before it even began And it's over before it even began Before it began I started something That was never ever gonna' end well I pushed it to the limits And it's something you didn't deserve And that's why it's over before it even began And it's over before it even began I won't let you get under my skin 'Cos you're gonna' take away everything And it's over before it even began And it's over before it even began Before it began All those broken promises oh they end up breaking hearts Lying, deceiving, destroying dreams, tearing us apart I've gotta' let my head rule my heart What now for the future I've nothing left to lose I've been walking a mile in my shoes And I've been beaten black and blue
4.
They say, time is a healer They say, you've gotta' prove your point They say, follow the leader They say, you're gonna disappoint Can never say the right thing, can never do the right thing I'm always gonna' be the bad guy I'm always gonna' be the bad guy I'm always gonna' be the bad guy The bad guy - the bad guy They say, look after number one They say, do what you gotta' do They say, you're like a loaded gun They say, you're no longer the glue I say black, you say white, am I wrong, am I right? They say, get back in the game They say, you gotta' speak your mind They say, no pain no gain They say, there's none so blind
5.
Just another, Monday morning, and the playground, is at war I’m kicked and beaten, by the majority, no matter, no matter the score Well some might say, that it’s a disease, that’s passed down, from father to son But some of us, we can think for ourselves, and I know that, I’m not alone Face The Truth Those in charge, just bury their heads, and no-one, will accept the blame A cry for help, falls on deaf ears, it’s our, our secret shame They say that adults, should no better, and they need to, to educate But what chance, all the children - the ones who, who have learned to hate It’s the 21st century, (Face the truth) It’s the 21st century, (Face the truth) It’s the 21st century, (Face the truth) So Stop Turning A Blind Eye
6.
Only a vision, living a lie Stranger by name, no need to cry Empty by nature, so hard to please Discover the secret, whispers the breeze Are you at peace with the air you can’t breathe And would you surprise us with things you believe Searching for justice, then who’s in the dock And would you have stared at the hands on the clock Shine through the darkness Reach out and touch your face Shine through the darkness Fade away, fade away, fade away You fade away, you fade away You fade away, you fade away Could you have sat in the corner and wept Frustration and anger so hard to accept Would you have argued for the right to appeal And would you believe in the cupboard surreal Would you release all others might guard And would you have shivered so cold and so sad Would you have blinked at the troubles we shared And would you have cried when I fell down the stairs Empty by nature, so hard to please God bless, goodnight, God bless, sleep tight Hope for and wish for a beautiful life Fucked up and screwed up a waste of a life!
7.
Regrets 02:05
Regrets, I’ve had more than a few But far too many to mention All those times, yeah, I’m sure that you knew Just crying out for salvation Wasted days, Wasted years Wasted nights, Wasted tears Wasted days, Wasted years Wasted nights, Wasted tears In my life, I’ve loved, laughed and I’ve cried Suffering fools without exception There’s so many things I wouldn’t do If I could have my time again There’s only so much shit you can take When you know you’re not to blame When you know you're not to blame

Nowhere Boy 03:27
I sit and watch my life unfold and it cuts me to the core As the years fly by they knock me over as I crawl back off the floor I'm just a Nowhere boy nowhere boy I'm just a Nowhere boy nowhere boy No longer recognize the face oh in the mirror on the bathroom wall It stares at me with great disappointment all my questions are answered wrong I can't see, I can't hear, I can't breath Then I'm hot, then I sweat, then I'm cold All my ghosts from the past come back to haunt me on social media From grainy black and white to technicolour that's how it feels Out in the dark and on my own and I shiver down to the bone Take me back right to the start it's a default where I'm comfortable
9.
Do as I do Do as I say 'Cos I'm the man who thinks he's god Stand up, pay attention, pin back your ears The word is out, clear your mind, reject your peers Follow on blindly, what's to lose, you're just buying time You're sure to find, those glory days, give us a sign Do as I do Do as I say 'Cos I'm the man who thinks he's god Do as I do Do as I say 'Cos I'm the man who thinks he's god I'm the man who thinks he's god I'm the man - who thinks he's god Give me no answers, questions fade, no reality Anally retentive springs to mind, show some humility Living in a bubble, isolation, who's pulling the strings Don't back down, seize control, the fat lady sings You gotta' keep looking, over your shoulder, a new dawn is here The prophet speaks, but nothing makes sense, bullshit bleeds my ears Born frustrated, paranoia, suspicious minds Move along now, there's nothing to see, can't you read the signs?
10.
Friday Girl 03:30
She's my Friday girl, and I don't know, if she's coming round She's my Friday girl, and I don't know, if she's up or down I've waited all week I've waited for the day I've waited for you To come my way The hours have dragged in Time has stool still The clock on the wall Can see the state I'm in Waiting for a call Is it time to take a pill? All this hanging round Is making me ill Your lipstick smile tells me you're all mine Your lipstick smile tells me to run a mile
11.
I see you every time I dream I try so hard to connect with my conscience stream One of these days I won't need to try so hard One of these days I'll think I'm going mad And that will be the best day ever That will be the best time ever Remember my name Will you remember my name Remember my name Things are different now, that's how it seems Confusion reigns what does it mean? One of these days a light's gonna' shine One of these days it's all gonna' blow my mind And that will be the best day ever That will be the best time ever Just an old photograph – a blast from the past Pour me a drink and we'll raise a glass Remember my name I can't see your face, I can't see your smile Can't reach to touch you, I can't hear a sound
12.
I don't read the papers and I don't watch the news I couldn't get much lower if I wanted to History repeated and no-ones backing down Dunno' whether to laugh or cry my head is spinning round And the small man he is crushed He is never to be saved The elite never bite the dust From the cradle to the grave I don't believe this propaganda I don't believe this propaganda I don't believe this propaganda Lie, deflect & spin Everyone's divided, society built on sand We only see what we want to see yeah on demand Safe from prosecution, the old boy network thrives We're all so desensitised, we forget to empathise I don't believe, I don't need it I don't believe, I don't need it I don't believe, I don't need it Lie, deflect & spin
13.
There’ll be no more tears for Daddy Cos’ Daddy ain’t coming home He’s lying in a box wrapped in a Union flag For a Government with hearts of stone Who’s gonna’ hold your hand at night Read you stories that need to be told Who’s gonna’ scare away the bogey man Protect you from the wind and cold I’m never going to feel your gentle touch I’ll cherish every ounce of love from you I’m never going to see you growing up And it breaks my heart in two Who’ll pick you up when you stumble and fall Dry your tears and dust you down Who’ll get to share all those happy days I just know that you would make me proud I’m not the only one, I’m not the only one Just another dead hero, no use to you now Please remember me anyway, somehow
